That's the way I read it on the Class Reference. RBX.lua.(INSTANCE) ⇒OutOfSpace

The Plane tutorial...

I'll have eye cancer if I look at it for too long X_X. It'll be hard to do, but getting this thing to a small size is possible. Also, thanks for testing all of those scripts ⇒OutOfSpace

We have liftoff!

It's all cake lies. This is where the code came from. It's how you set the code, for the code door.

Roblox pages

My parents pulled me off right before I could do anything to it>.<, thanks for fixing it! It had too many 'x_x' pages.

⇒OutOfSpace

Jobs

Wow, I had to think on that! And what a great way to stop noobs from getting contact information xD. ⇒OutOfSpace

YES!

They're updating...on the only day that I'm off =P ⇒OutOfSpace

List of Roblox Pages

I don't think you understand. That page is there so that people can advertise their own roblox fansite. Roblox has it there for that reason. It's not there to show what's on the blogroll only. Clockwork would've locked it if it was intended to be very straight forward (e.g. Here are our sites, read them, we're not adding yours.) It's a player creation page, just like Places and Creation Ideas. And using the excuse "I'm tired of cleaning this page." isn't going to persuade me from undoing the redirect you made, because if you wont do it, I will clean it; and it's as simple as that. ⇒OutOfSpace

I want it gone as much as you do. The only thing keeping me from doing that, is it's official. Roblox has set a place where a regular person can advertise their site and keep it on the list, so long as it meets the criteria. Unless the administraition tells s otherwise, the only thing we can do to that page is keep out the bad and make sure it's relatively decent.

Here inlies a problem: Where do we draw the line? When does it have an end? When do we stop taking care of something that has grown to be nothing more than cancer, an uncontrollable growth of un-updated sites!? When do we stop taking care of it?

Plus I don't expect anyone to make an announcement about its closure. And I can see where and why you stand for shutting it down and replacing it with a simple list of 'Official' blogroll sites. You don't need my permission to edit it. You can undo any changes I've made and I will not undo them, from now until I get confirmation from an Admin (either Clockwork or Reece ), or a Mod ( I.e. MrDoomBringer ) on its official future.

And I'm not trying to be a butt about this, but what happens if every new player posts something stupid on the wiki, do we shut it down because it's redundant to edit it and make anything productive on here? Do we lock all the player creation pages because they get filled with too much crap? Yes. Yes we do. And if I don't get a reply In 27 hours uppon sending my messages, it will be a list of the bloroll, unless they tell us otherwise.

Now to address who will edit it while I'm gone. Let's consiter how many people really read it. If we had 150 people reading that page a day, most sites on there would be very populated. But that isn't the case, so noone will edit. I'm sorry to tell you, but there are only 3-4 really good daily editors on here that check in daily. So, noone will edit it for about a day. What's thwirst that can happen? Mass reverts.

⇒OutOfSpace

Don't worry about a thing. I'll make sure it gets taken care of. If you see it on Recent Changes, just ignore it. ⇒OutOfSpace

Away

If your wondering why I'm away, the marching band I'm in has plenty of places to go >.< Ill be on for most of next week though, so you can take a break then. Great work on all of those math pages!! You did a brilliant job! ⇒OutOfSpace

We're not going ot DC...maybe next year xD. I'll be doing the major 'maintanace' or however you spell it. ⇒OutOfSpace

== Citations ==

Anam... cite whatever page you want, I'm looking at [1] right now, but it really doesn't matter to me. MINDRAKER 11:10, 15 October 2008 (CDT)

Alright. Thanks for the site, I found what I was looking for. :) --Anaminus 11:30, 15 October 2008 (CDT)

Thanks mindraker!

Thanks for helping me with Scripting with Grammar. You made it easier to read and understand. Keep it up!

RE: Could I ask you a favor

Dear Anaminus: There are some redundant links on the main page. I edited out a few, but realized to my horror that the main page was quite a delicate little thing. I know you're good at the wiki. Do you have any 'lick and spit' ways of removing the two redundant links without making the front page look like a mess? MINDRAKER 00:39, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean? Does the main page get all jumbled and messed up when you try to change it? Is it that bad??

By the way, Gavin12 isn't following the Policy very well... hint hint bash bash --Anaminus 06:39, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

>User_talk:Anaminus#Could_I_ask_you_a_favor

I think I see what you mean. Here's what you have to do:

Each section in Help Center starts with this:

| {{CatImage || image=</syntaxhighlight>

Add so each is like this:

|valign="top"|{{CatImage || image=</syntaxhighlight>

This way, they will be aligned upward instead of centered. --Anaminus 10:18, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Dear Mindraker:

I know some of this is already around. But im trying to add my own point of view. People might have difficulty understanding some of the other ones. Its always better.

Dear Mindraker:

Would it be okay if I added some tutorials that were not on the wiki already?

Well I'm back

From my vacation xD. I bet MrDoomBringer's happy he won't have 'new message' nearly everyday. And the wiki looks good. Anything major happen while I was gone? ⇒OutOfSpace

ATOS

Well, JustinP231 removed it, so, I'm trying to recreate it. So far I've gotten:

• Slimes can roll to a spot.
• They can remove any "Part" that isn't locked.
• They can turn random colors.
• They die apon hitting the end wall.

Hopefully he puts it back up, but idk.. ⇒OutOfSpace

I don't think he'd let us have it either way. I'll ask him, but he's dealing with everyone else who loved it :( If it does come down to me having to re-create it, what new features/changes would you like? ~Space

---

Ok, I stayed up until 1:19am making sure every single bug was out of it.

• Here's the new features:

• • Slimes can now eat a maximum of 35 parts. They do eat hats.
  • They now rely on Body Angular Velocity instead of Body Position.
  • The game fully runs, removing all tools when the slimes enter, and giving them to the players when they leave.
    • I didn't put tools, or parts, in the game yet but the "game script" changed the parent of the model that they'll be in.

• Here's some hidden changes. (very important, but not seen):

• • There is now a way to adjust maxSpeed and Acceleration from the workspace.
  • I can make changes to the slimes script, and a script will update the slime's main script without me manually having to do it.
  • The red wall is in a diffrent model from the "Base" and other "Walls"

• Things that would make it less laggy:

• • There are 32 slimes. 8 per row, and 4 per collum.
  • You will ALWAYS have 6 minutes to build and 3 minutes (which I'm thinking of changing) to survive. I think in the original game it was randomly set to 4-7 minutes.

Any specific "VIP" feaatures you want? ⇒OutOfSpace

---

Ok, V.1.9g fixes just about everything. The entire place can run multiple times without hitting any errors.

• Here are the fixes/additions:

• • One thing I thought needed to be added was a ban script, It's now there.
  • Slimes nolonger eat the base when they "fly".
  • The max they can eat is 17 parts.
  • All walls have been fixed so that they don't get eaten.
  • There are now several types of briks to build with (multi-colored, studded the same way as the original game, and are diffrent sizes.)
  • Slimes remove anything whose parent is not "Slime".
  • The walls remove anything that touches it (exempting slimes)

• Here are the things I'd like to addon for V.2.0b . Please comment on them:

• • Slimes have reflectance.
  • Roof (That cleans itself.)

**People can't build near the end.

• • More Slimes and building space.
  • More brick types.
  • Debris.

UPDATE: 1.A2 includes:

• • Slimes have reflectance.
  • Roof (That cleans itself.)
  • Fixed wall error..again...=P

UPDATE: 1.A2b includes:

• • More brick types.
  • More building space.
  • More slime control (BAV)

And that's the last of it. Next major thing will be the PM_SYSTEM for my script builder. I'll send you a PM for everything else.

---

Version 2.0 brings in lots of internal changes.

• Here are the internal:

• • There is now a "SlimeControls" model. You can control:

• • • Reflectance
    • Transparency
    • Angular Direction
    • MaxSpeed
    • "RandomColors" tougle.
    • How many parts can slimes eat.

• • All the scripts are sorted in models by "GameScripts" and "SlimeScripts" reducing the hastle of updating every single slime.
  • The Configuration file for the slimes has been re-written.

• Here are physical differences:

• • Block that can align.
  • More space
  • Less slimes (it was 8 slimes in a row by 4 in a collum (32), now it's 3x10 (30))

• Bugs fixes. These were released in 2.1:

• • The base, walls, and end wall can't be removed.
  • The spawn has been moved lower, but the roof will stay the same.
  • Easier Configuration fixes.

I expect to release this later tonight or tommorow. ⇒OutOfSpace

Sysop

Hey thanks for all your work on the wiki. You seem like a relatively stable individual, so I've granted you sysop privileges. --Telamon 00:54, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Game hierarchy

I'm thinking of making this a category. We have enough pages to go under it (Workspace, Lighting, and Players off the bat.); do you think I should add it? If so, would Part be listed under it? ⇒OutOfSpace

Upon second thought, Everything would be listed, and we have Roblox Lua Objects to take care of that. I'll just try to complete that page instead and see how far it goes.

I see you're enjoying your new powers. ---Mr Doom Bringer 08:43, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Woah woah woah, slow down a second.

Any pages that I've edited and have not removed are normally ones that can and should stay, the Conceptual design pages are ones that should remain, they go more into the theory of how things work. I wish that there were more of them.

Second, ask my permission before you go editing any of the MediaWiki message sections, such as the part below on the editing page.

Third, before you go deleting any tutorials make sure that there are tutorials that are very similar or better written. Pages like "How to remove lag from a place" detailing how to reduce snaps, anchor bricks etc. is perfectly fine. Another beginner's guide is not.

---Mr Doom Bringer 10:04, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually, if you have MSN send me a message on Roblox, I want to be able to contact you if need be. ---Mr Doom Bringer 10:14, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

hahaha

Seeing that "effective script building" made me laugh. I wonder how this will turn out. Have you made any? ⇒OutOfSpace

Sorry, I forgot to add that it was an "ad". Most on there are random MSPAINT creation, but there are select ones that caught my eye as being "professional". Some people even had the nerve to upload the template, just the template, and nothing else :P.

Well, the thanksgiving holidays have started so I'l lbe updating most of my stuff, and the wiki.

⇒OutOfSpace

You may want to add...

Any unauthorized use of the panel will result in an immediate ban for impersonating an administrator. ⇒OutOfSpace

Project Pages

I'll add to the guidelines that any editing of these pages is not allowed. ⇒OutOfSpace

Donation page

We caught that at the same time, sorry XD. ⇒OutOfSpace

You could do what you want with it, you don't need my prerogative. Assuming that you are going to sleep, have a good night! ⇒OutOfSpace

How to Design an Effective Ad‎

It's a start, and it's horribly second person. Honestly, my main goal was trying not to bias it. ⇒OutOfSpace

themumboking's chatboard

Hopefully the link on List of ROBLOX Sites should work now!

Thanks for pointing that out to me... --Themumboking 08:04, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Mindraker, Found a spelling error on the http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/How_Advertising_Works page - but it's not open for edits. So figured you would have the power to fix it! :)

Near the Definitions: section -

"CTR - CTR is short for Click Through Rate. Simply, it is the percentage of people who see you add that click on it (clicks / impressions). "

--> should be:

"CTR - CTR is short for Click Through Rate. Simply, it is the percentage of people who see your ad and click on it (clicks / impressions). "

I guess that's right.

Snow!!

Just saying.

Ugh! This Global Warming... ⇒OutOfSpace

I didn't goto school, the roads were too icey :/. I'll be on scripting away I guess.

And yes, global sarcasm Warming is just as believable as snow in Louisiana...o wait...⇒OutOfSpace

Gotta remember to thank Al Gore. ---Mr Doom Bringer 11:53, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Chuckle... Hey have fun guys, people have been spamming the heck out of the forums and the wiki today. It's all yours, I'm off to bed! MINDRAKER 12:00, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I'm late, I have exams to study for! Eek ⇒OutOfSpace

Only 2 on the list?

Anam... I there were only 2 items on that list you gave me on the Enum list... is that what you expected...? MINDRAKER 09:47, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes, because most of them weren't ever created. --Anaminus 09:50, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks..

...for locking that page. I was getting tired of reverting the bad edits. >.< --Armydude123 08:19, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for deleting that page. :D Mfsoccer94

If you mean the present page then yes, good riddens

Hey Mindraker Mabye you should lock this page So the info is correct. It would be bad for somebody that needs to contact ROBLOX and to get info that could be false. "http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Support" thanks -- gordonrox24

Okay..

Its been 30 minutes, unlock it now. But keep a look out, there could be more on their way!

Present Hats

I don't feel good leaving it unlocked when I leave, so feel free to remove the protection anytime tommorrow. OutOfSpace 12:45, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Protection

Default blocks unregistered users from editing. It was enabled by Telamon when random IPs were editing the wiki. ⇒OutOfSpace

---

I shall destroy it (RPG). ⇒OutOfSpace

For the record, I'd like to point out that the "playable maps" were friends only. ⇒OutOfSpace

Is there a...

...page on the new Ad feature on ROBLOX? I didnt see any but im just making sure. If not, I will make it. --Armydude123 23:43, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

...man, i forgot there was one >.< I didnt see it in the search until the last second --Armydude123 23:49, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

The Wiki is looking great!

Hey, just wanted to pass it on. I've noticed that it has become really easy to use, I can find what I'm looking for quickly, and the information actually helps! So, thanks for all your work!

cecibean 02:23, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Fractals

No, I haven't seen that before, but it looks cool. Mindraker, you've given me a new goal, to make that! ⇒OutOfSpace

Dude!

You recently banned an account that my brother created. It's not my account. I gave him permission to use my other e-mail! It's not right for you to unfarly half-ban my brother's account just because you suspect we're the same person! User:ANormalUsername1/sig

Dude, that's MY alt account! A Normal Username on the roblox wiki = ShadowLinkKing on roblox. That's him. And the IP's are the same because we use the same computer.

Question?

Hey, I keep seeing two Reesemcblox's. One of them is real and the other looks fake. I think this is the fake one. I don't want to edit it because I am not sure. Please take a look at this user: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/User:ReeseMcBlox Mfsoccer94

I have to go...

I'm going to my grandma's for Christmas. That user I had just banned is not Reesemcblox. She doesn't have capitals in her name. Please remove any edit that user made. ⇒OutOfSpace

Ok, it's over. I'll be here for Christmas Eve and day, though. So you can go party and what not and the wiki will be fine :D.⇒OutOfSpace

RE: Building Tutorials

Making models of things (e.g. tall building) and applying scripting to it. Concepts, usage, and models already made are accepted. For example:

• How to make water.
  • Scripts for floating.
  • Making Acid.
  • Waves.
  • etc.

I'll just post this on the tutorial discussion page. ⇒OutOfSpace 05:32, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

RE: Images

Thanks! That would awesome if you could lock them! I'll categorize the rest when I finish uploading this set. --Anaminus 09:19, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Unrightous ban on Gordanrox24

You recently undefidently banned him for one wrong edit. His edit: "You will not see any ads on Roblox.com for external sites, and you can chose the amount of User made ads you will view!" He made an accidental edit. Also to say, the choice about the ads thing was annouced by Telamon that it will be in the next update. User:ANormalUsername1/sig

Oy!

Chill with the bans for a bit. From now on any bans that you make will have to be placed on my talk page and temporary, 1 week bans at the most until I clear a full block. If I don't respond within a day or two send me a PM on Roblox about them and I'll look into it. Don't permaban anyone unless I clear it.

Also, any pages that have over 5 edits from different people (meaning 2 people or more) also need to be listed on my talk page.

Making small edits to clean things up aren't 'annoying' edits, they're just cleaning things up. Making stuff worse is something to block, making a 2 word change to make it better is perfectly acceptable.

I'm not doing this as a punishment, this is just to make sure that the users don't start sending us angry e-mails or rioting. Just need to make sure that they are indeed needing to be permabanned before actually banning them.

As such, try to go a little easier on the bans, for one or two bad edits send them a note on their talk page rather than banning them immediately.

--Mr Doom Bringer 05:47, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

RESIGNATION?!

Your quitting the wiki as a Sysop? Why? Well it was good having you here as a mod mindraker :\ --Armydude123 11:28, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad to have worked with you. I hope it'll all work out. ⇒OutOfSpace

Great. That's an empty space on the mod list ;)

Your referring to that joke I made 2 minutes ago. I really don't care if I do become mod or not. If I did, then I'd be a lot more responsible with the wiki, but as long as I'm not blocked, I'm fine. User:ANormalUsername1/sig

Support

I don't see why not. Lock it! ⇒OutOfSpace

Re: Re: Re: Warning page

Well, if you say so.

Name Change

I was thinking mabye this page's name should be changed to " How to Make a Brick Via Scripts" Instead of Just "How Do I Create A Brick" Mabye you can look at it.

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/How_do_I_create_a_brick%3F

Thanks! --User:Gordonrox24

So will you make the new page? Then I can put the redirection down. --User:Gordonrox24

OH Ok Thanks. I made the page, put in that is was redirected and marked it as a stub for now. -- User:gordonrox24

Needed?

Hello, I was wondering if this page is even needed or allowed.

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Kiseki_CTF

I wasn't sure If pages on specific places are allowed, and if not, if there is an exception becuase is is a moderator's place.

Thanks. --User:gordonrox24

Ya, I saw Mr.D's note. thought I should let you know! Thanks! --User:gordonrox24

Car Page is ready for review

Hey - I think it's finished - at least the basics. I figured out what was wrong - the BodyGyro, BodyPosition and BodyVelocity objects weren't configured properly. I'm not sure if they're needed! But for now - they're staying. I removed some of the code that was not needed - to keep it simple. But there's probably still some code left from when it used to be a plane. I'll trim more later. If you can review it, and fix it as needed - that would be great! Thanks. cecibean 01:41, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Tutorial Suggestions

i think you should make a tutorial on minigames,if you want to know the specific of that read what i posted on building/scripting help

Question

Outofspace gave me this link. I was wondering if you guys wanted me to go through it, add some info, and then mark the stubs? Thanks -- User:gordonrox24

Okay. I will spend a little time going through them, and if there are pages on specific things that you want made, Let me know. Thanks -- User:gordonrox24

Page

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Category:ROBLOX_Games

This category has 3-4 pages all about the ROBLOX account's games. This is user-specific, and once again wasn't sure if it was allowed. Thanks --User:gordonrox24

Script Builder Format on the Wiki

Hello, I understand what you mean, and I was very hesitant about making that edit. I only did it because earlier on the page, it shows the script and says this is what you need to put in to make a message in Script Builder. The only problem with the script on that page is that it is in the Message:Remove() format, which doesn't work in Anaminus' script builder. Many other script builders still have it in the Message:Remove() format, but Anaminus' is the most popular. It just kind of makes it hard to even talk about script builders on the Wiki without people going there to test it out, only to find it won't work there. I'm not sure how to get around that....

Thanks Anyway! --User:gordonrox24

Nevermind all that. Anaminus got rid of the Script Builder Part. That makes it alot easier. Thanks --User:gordonrox24

Ya, that page is very helpful! To bad not everybody reads these things. Thanks --User:gordonrox24

FAQ

Should this page be on the FAQ?

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Shirts

It is on the link "How do I get a T-Shirt" in the Basics section. It really doesn't even really answer the question.....

Thanks --User:gordonrox24

Ya, that is why I was wondering why it was in the basics section of the FAQ.

Thanks -- User:gordonrox24

Aha! Now we just have to get that page written! Thanks! -- User:gordonrox24

Mabye that link should also go through a name change. Mabye it could be "How do I make a T-shirt" instead if "How do I Get a T-Shirt" --User:gordonrox24

Humanoid bug fix

I did not put everything in, sorry. I can explain how it works: Humanoid dies before the torso and the head joints are made. When I made that mistake, I made it run before humanoid existed, so value h = null (There is no parent yet) so what you need to do is delay the script. Just like that:

h = Script.Parent --Humanoid
for 1,15 do --change 15 into how many seconds your place takes to load + 15
  wait(1) --wait for a second and try again
  h.MaxHealth = 160 --Change that into required MaxHealth
  h.Health = 160 --Change that into required Health
end

As script knows its parent, it knows the path. When game loads, the path does not yet exist.

Image

Thanks for removing that. I posted on Mr.D's Talk page because I wasn't sure if you were online.

--User:gordonrox24

No problem. I just figured it was better to just let the guy know that he could get in trouble for doing stuff like that before he got banned.

Feel free to message me with concerns about my edits! Thanks --User:gordonrox24

Question

Is their any specific reason the date on the "Recent Changes" List in January 4th? It is still the 3rd.... Thanks --User:gordonrox24

Weird... I'm only 2-3 hours ahead of california (ROBLOX HQ). Thanks anyway! --User:gordonrox24

Contest Hats

Somebody has to edit this page, and change the number of Ice Crowns in existence. It is at 43 right now, and that is false. I would do it, but I don't know the exact number of crowns handed out.

Contest Hats

Thanks! --User:gordonrox24

Ok, I will look around. Mabye it is in the news from last year. --User:gordonrox24

Hello, I asked on the forum and most people said 104, and another said 138. Should I change it to 104 so it is atleast in the vicinity of the correct number? Thanks --User:gordonrox24

No wait, I like 138 better then 104. Pheedy looked it up for me. That makes more sence, as there was 104 handed out this year alone. --User:gordonrox24

Ok. I put 138 up. It makes more sence. This is the 2nd year of the contest, and they handed out 104 this year alone. It should be ok. --User:gordonrox24

Re: Ban Requests

Just to clarify a bit, I've got to approve the bans before they're actually given out, for example, if you want to block someone permanently ban them for a week and place the name on my talk page.

If you can send me a name for the user you want banned that's perfectly fine. Toss it on my talk page and I check that often enough it'll be noticed.
